Broncos injury report: A.J. Derby and Jeff Heuerman ruled out

Broncos tight ends A.J. Derby (shoulder) and Jeff Heuerman (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 11 against the Bengals. That leaves veteran Virgil Green as the team’s only healthy tight end on the roster.

With Derby and Heuerman unable to play this week, Denver will likely activate Austin Traylor from the practice squad. The team will have to make a corresponding roster move to make room for Traylor on the 53-man roster.

Osweiler was dealing with a right shoulder injury earlier this week but he’s OK and will start this weekend. Coach Vance Joseph said after practice Friday that he has not decided yet if Paxton Lynch or Trevor Siemian will be Osweiler’s backup against Cincinnati.
